PRECAUTIONPRECAUTIONSPrecaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000007732304

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used alongwith a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certaintypes of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRSsystem uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one frontair bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Man-ual.WARNING:• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in

the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed byan authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personalinjury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air BagModule, see the SR section.

• Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in thisService Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-ness connectors.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERSWARNING:• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-

tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with ahammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causingserious injury.

• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect thebattery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover INFOID:0000000007575573

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, coverthe lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.

Draining Engine Coolant INFOID:0000000007575576

Drain engine coolant and engine oil when the engine is cooled.

Disconnecting Fuel Piping INFOID:0000000007575577

• Before starting work, check no fire or spark producing items are in the work area. • Release fuel pressure before disconnecting and disassembly.• After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.

< PRECAUTION > [HR16DE]PRECAUTIONS

Removal and Disassembly INFOID:0000000007575578

• When instructed to use SST, use specified tools. Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or unin-structed operations.

• Use care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.• Dowel pins are used for several parts alignment. When replacing and reassembling parts with dowel pins,

check that dowel pins are installed in the original position.• Cover openings of engine system with a tape or equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.• Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and reassembly.• When loosening nuts and bolts, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally opposite, and so

on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified. Power tools may be used in the step.

Inspection, Repair and Replacement INFOID:0000000007575579

Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, andreplace if necessary.

Assembly and Installation INFOID:0000000007575580

• Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.• Tighten nuts and bolts in order exactly as specified in the procedure. If a tightening order or procedure is not

specified, tighten nuts and bolts equally in several different steps. Start with the nuts or bolts in the centerand then tighten diagonally starting with the inside and moving to the outside in a spiral pattern.

• Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.• Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check engine oil or engine coolant passages for

restrictions and blockages. • Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Before assembling, completely remove foreign materials such

as cloth lint or dust, and oil the sliding surfaces. • After refilling engine coolant, bleed the air from the cooling system.• After repairing, start the engine and increase engine speed to check for engine coolant leaks, fuel leaks,

engine oil leaks, and exhaust gas leaks.

Parts Requiring Angle Tightening INFOID:0000000007575581

• For the final tightening of the following engine parts use Tool:

- Camshaft sprocket (INT) bolt- Cylinder head bolts- Main bearing cap bolts- Connecting rod cap bolts- Crankshaft pulley bolt (Note an angle wrench is required as bolt flange is provided with notches for angle

tightening)• Do not use a torque value for final tightening. • The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.• Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.

Precaution for Liquid Gasket INFOID:0000000007732305

REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALANT• After removing the bolts and nuts, separate the mating surface and

COMPRESSION PRESSUREInspection INFOID:0000000007575586

1. Warm up engine and then turn it off. 2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-126, "Work Procedure". 3. Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-44, "Exploded View".4. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT).5. Install compression gauge (B) with an adapter (A) (commercial

service tool) onto spark plug hole.

• Use an adapter with a diameter (a) smaller than 20 mm (0.79in). Otherwise, it may be caught by cylinder head duringremoval.

6. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to START for cranking. When the gaugepointer stabilizes, read the compression pressure and the engine rpm. Perform these steps to check eachcylinder.

CAUTION:Always use a fully charged battery to obtain the specified engine speed.• If the engine speed is out of the specified range, check the battery. Check the engine speed again with a

fully charged battery. • If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour a small amount of engine oil into the spark plug

hole to recheck the compression.- If the added engine oil improves the compression, the piston rings may be worn or damaged. Check the

piston rings and replace if necessary.- If the compression pressure remains low despite the addition of engine oil, the valves may be malfunc-

tioning. Check the valves for damage. Replace the valve or valve seat as necessary.• If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains

low even after the addition of engine oil the head gasket may be leaking, or valves in adjacent cylindersmay be damaged. Inspect and repair as required.

• If the compression pressure is below the minimum value, check the valve clearances and parts associ-ated with the combustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head,cylinder head gasket). After repairing, measure the compression pressure again.

7. After inspection is completed, install removed parts.8. Start the engine, and ensure that the engine runs smoothly.9. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-111, "Work Flow".

1. Pull the idler pulley in the loosening direction, and then tempo-rarily tighten the lock nut (A) to the following torque.

NOTE:Do not move the lock nut from the temporary tightened position. Go to step 2.

2. Install the drive belt on each pulley.CAUTION:• Check that there is no oil, grease, or coolant, etc. in pulley grooves.• Check that the belt seats securely inside the groove on each pulley.

3. Adjust drive belt tension by turning the adjusting bolt. Refer to EM-18, "Adjustment".CAUTION:• Perform the belt tension adjustment with the lock nut temporarily tightened to the torque specifi-

cation listed in step 1 which prevents the idler pulley from tilting.• When checking immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after

turning crankshaft two turns or more, readjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflec-tion between pulleys.

4. Tighten the lock nut to final tightening specification.

5. Check that belt tension is within the specification. Refer to EM-117, "Drive Belt".

Inspection INFOID:0000000007575590

• Inspection should be done only when engine is cold or over 30minutes after the engine is stopped.

• Visually check belt for wear, damage, and cracks on inside andedges.

• Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise twice, and check that the tension on all pulleys equalizes before testing. • When measuring deflection, apply 98.1 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the ( ) marked point.• Measure the belt tension and frequency with acoustic tension gauge at the ( ) marked point.CAUTION:• When the tension and frequency are measured, the acoustic tension gauge should be used.• When checking immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turning

crankshaft two turns or more, readjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflection betweenpulleys.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels, including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required

quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-12, "Fluids and Lubricants".• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-

age at connection points.• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

NOTE:If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guidemay generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stopafter hydraulic pressure rises.

• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids includingengine oil and engine coolant.

• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.

quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-12, "Fluids and Lubricants".• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-

age at connection points.• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

NOTE:If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guidemay generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stopafter hydraulic pressure rises.

• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids includingengine oil and engine coolant.

• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec-

ified level, if necessary.• Summary of the inspection items:

c. Pull out the stopper pin (A) of chain tensioner (2) side from plughole. Lift the lever (B) up to align its hole position with the hole ofthe body.

• When the lever hole (C) is aligned with the body hole position,the plunger (1) is secured.

• When the protrusion parts of the plunger ratchet and the tabface each other, both hole positions are not aligned. At thattime, correctly engage them and align these hole positions byslightly moving the plunger.

d. Insert the stopper pin into the body hole through the lever hole, and then secure the lever at the upperposition.

7. Remove timing chain.8. Remove camshaft sprocket (EXH) (1).

CAUTION:• Hold the camshaft hexagonal part (A), and then secure the

camshaft.• Never rotate crankshaft and camshaft separately, so as

not to contact valve with piston.NOTE:The timing chain with the front cover installed is not disengagedfrom the crankshaft sprocket and it is not dropped into the frontcover. Therefore, the timing chain tension holding device is notnecessary.

9. Turn the camshaft sprocket (INT) to the most advanced position.CAUTION:Installation and removal of the camshaft sprocket (INT) must be done in the most advanced posi-tion. Make sure to follow the procedure exactly.• The sprocket (C) and vane (camshaft coupling) (B) are

designed to spin and move within the range of a certainangle.

• With the engine stopped and the vane in the mostretarded angle, it will not spin because it is locked to thesprocket side by the internal lock pin (A).

• If the camshaft sprocket mounting bolts are turned in thesituation described above, the lock pin will become dam-aged and cause malfunctions because of the increasedhorizontal load (cutting force) on the lock pin.

• Put the camshaft sprocket (INT) in the most advanced position:a. Remove camshaft bracket (No. 1) (1).

• Loosen the bolts in several steps, and then remove them.

D : Front cover has been removed for clarity.

b. Apply the following air pressure to the No. 1 journal oil hole (A)of camshaft (INT) (1) shown using an air gun.

• Apply the air pressure into the oil hole on the second groovefrom the front of camshaft thrust (B).

• Proceed all the way through step “e” with the air pressure on.• Attach the rubber nozzle narrowed to the top of the air gun to

prevent air leakage from the oil hole (A). Securely apply the airpressure to the oil hole.

WARNING:Eye protection should be worn as needed.CAUTION:• There are other oil holes in the side grooves. Never use the incorrect oil holes.• Be sure not to damage the oil path with the tip of the air gun.• Wipe all the oil off the air gun to prevent oil from being blown all over along with the air, and the

area around the air gun should be wiped with a rag when applying air pressure. Eye protectionshould be worn as needed.

NOTE:The air pressure is used to move the lock pin into the disengage position.

c. Hold the camshaft sprocket (INT) with hands, and then apply the power counterclockwise/clockwise alter-nately.

• Finally rotate the sprocket of the camshaft sprocket (INT)counterclockwise [the direction shown by the arrow ( )].

• Perform the work while continuously applying the air pressureto the oil hole.

• If the lock pin is not released, tap the camshaft sprocket (INT)lightly with a plastic hammer (A).

• If the camshaft sprocket (INT) is not rotated counterclockwiseeven if the above procedures are performed, check the airpressure and the oil hole position.

d. While doing the above, once you hear a click (the sound of theinternal lock pin disengaging) from inside the camshaft sprocket(INT), start turning the camshaft sprocket (INT) in the counter-clockwise direction in the most advanced angle position.

• Keep the air pressure on.• If there is no click, as soon as the vane side (camshaft side)

starts moving independently of the sprocket, the lock pin hasbecome disengaged.

VALVE SEAT CONTACT• After confirming that the dimensions of valve guides and valves are within the specifications, perform this

procedure.• Apply prussian blue (or white lead) onto contacting surface of valve seat to check the condition of the valve

contact on the surface.• Check if the contact area band is continuous all around the circum-

ference.

• If not, grind to adjust valve fitting and check again. If the contactingsurface still has “NG” conditions (B) even after the recheck,replace valve seat. Refer to EM-75, "Disassembly and Assembly".

VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENTWhen valve seat is removed, replace with oversized [0.5 mm (0.020 in)] valve seat.1. Bore out old seat until it collapses. Boring should not continue beyond the bottom face of the seat recess

in cylinder head. Set the machine depth stop to ensure this. Refer to MA-12, "Fluids and Lubricants".CAUTION:Prevent scoring cylinder head by excessive boring.

2. Ream cylinder head recess diameter for service valve seat.

• Be sure to ream in circles concentric to the valve guide center.This will enable valve seat to fit correctly.

3. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 130°C (230 to 266°F) by soaking inheated oil.

4. Provide valve seats cooled well with dry ice. Press-fit valve seats into cylinder head.WARNING:Cylinder head contains heat; when working, wear protective equipment to avoid getting burned.CAUTION:Avoid directly touching cold valve seats.

Then, press the contacting surface evenlyaround the valve seat to cut in a single attempt. Improperpressure or cutting several times may result in wavy valveseat.

6. Using compound, grind to adjust valve fitting. 7. Check again for normal contact. Refer to "VALVE SEAT CONTACT".VALVE SPRING SQUARENESS• Set a tri-square (A) along the side of valve spring and rotate spring.

Measure the maximum clearance between the top of spring andtri-square.

• If it exceeds the limit, replace valve spring.

VALVE SPRING DIMENSIONS AND VALVE SPRING PRESSURE LOAD• Check valve spring pressure with valve spring seat installed at the

specified spring height.CAUTION:Never remove valve spring seat from valve spring.

• If the installation load or load with valve open is out of the stan-dard, replace valve spring (with valve spring seat).

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels, including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required

quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-12, "Fluids and Lubricants".• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-

age at connection points.• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

NOTE:If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guidemay generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stopafter hydraulic pressure rises.

• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids includingengine oil and engine coolant.

• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec-

ified level, if necessary.• Summary of the inspection items:
